the old man sitting in front of his door
with his back to the pavement and his
face turned in respectful attention to the
collection of curious old pictures and
books which are piled on each side of the

Every day the pile has grown bigger, the
books budding together as if trying to
look over each others shoulders at the
odd things in the windows The old
man is nearly always alone and silent.
But he is not always sitting with his back

Dynamite is not nearly so dangerous
a substance as people suppose said Mr.

pany, to a reporter We have been en-
gagged for over seventeen years in its
manufacture and have had but two ex-
plosions in our factory. With experienced
wOrkmcn safety is almost assured. Peo-
pie have an erroneous idea concerning its
destructive qualities Why, it cannot
compare with ordinary black powder as n
destroyer Take. for example, the at
tempt made to blow up the British houses
of parliament IL the same amount of
black powder had been used the effect
would have been far more disastrous
Why Because dynamite is instantane-
Gus and local in its action, while powder
is slower in expansion and more far reach
ing in its destruction. Dynamite grinds
into atoms everything within its reach.
Powder breaks things into pieces, but
does not atomise them. Dynamite will
not explode in fire. II is exploded only
by conclusion"
Then how does it happen that dyna-
mite projectiles thrown from guns and
mortars escape exploding i'll the concus-
sion of the powder used i'll projecting

"That Is easily explained. At the base
of the cartrige is affixed layer of rubber
which breaks the force of the conclusion
1t is when it strikes and the cap attached
to the head Of it explodes that the cart

dynamite can be employed in guns. If it

WASHINGTON MARRIAGE MARKET
A Good Place in Which to Seek Wives.
How Matches Are Made.


Washington is going to be chock full
of marriageble ladies this winter, said a
| pretty little Southern widow the other
| evening. "Do you know, she continued,
showing keen interest in the subject,
THAT this is the greatest match making
city in the universe? No? Well. it's
true. More ladies come here to get mar
ried than to half dozen other cities of
the same population. Ii is because of
| the pleasant society, the beauty of the sur
ranndings and the gallantry of the city
All the ladies want to live here; and
don't blame them. / have been coming

hunt husbands? u
Il cannot say so,'' and fit of disap-
pointment cleaned in her blessed deep
black eye and the flush mounted her vel

men TO seek wives. | know you must

some and accomplished, as rule, and
hundreds of them have wealth and social

with the glare of the capital and the
abandon of the people. If there is
anything a lady likes it is ease and
elegance, plenty of time and an album

II cannot say that there are, but you
must remember that the matches made
here are eliminated elsewhere. The
| ladies come here, meet residents or visit
ors, court, make engagements, then go
| home and get married. o! its jolly,

an elopement here, under the glitter of the
| White House, the roar and hustle of the
| Capitol and to the music of the dining

| seriously, never heard of so many ladies
